Wedding vows

Any suggestion how long do you think your vows should be? I’m still new to writing my own vows thing 😅

    I would say your vows should be good at the 3 min mark.

    You're welcome. We'll be writing our own vows as well. What also helps is after you write them, you can always practice them as well to see how long it takes you to read/recite them. It's from the heart so there's no REAL time limit but of course because of everything else that goes on in a wedding, you just want to make sure that it's not TOO long.

    I heard five min each is good as well. I recommend recording yourself so 1. You know exactly how long it is and 2. You hear what your spouse will be hearing

    3 minutes?? 5 minutes?? Oh man, I might be in trouble. I don't think the one I have so far would even hit a minute!

    We are doing a word count so one is not super long and one super short. We went to a wedding where this happened and the groom poured his heart out but the brides was super short and it was super awkward for them. We are doing 250-300 words.

    30 seconds to 2 minutes. Longer if you have inspiration but don't force it.

    I'm struggling with mine and I've got less than 2 weeks.

    FH is my MAIN topic of conversation, and yet I can't figure out how to write the vows! I've got at least 4 drafts started.

    That said, I'm struggling because I have a lot to say, but I don't want to take hours, lol.

    I am struggling too! Since English is not my first tongue so, I usually have my FH check the spelling and stuff lol now he said no he doesn’t want to hear or see any. Now I have to go ask some help from his sister and I kind of shy to share it hehhe

    Oh dang, mine were only about a minute and a half when I timed them before the wedding. I think my husband's were slightly shorter? They felt just right during the ceremony, not too long or too short.

    No one's going to be mad if your vows are short and sweet!

    I agree! I start to lose focus once vows hit 3 minutes
